Value Collection 01358076 Size 7 Hss Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358076 is a screw machine length drill bit sized at wire gauge No. 7 (0.2010 inches decimal equivalent), designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, this bit features a standard 118-degree split point and a web-thinned, parallel-web construction that reduces walking and improves chip clearance. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. At 2.25 inches overall length, the screw machine format provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits, making it well suited for close-quarter drilling and precision shop work.

This drill bit is used in machine shop, production, and maintenance environments where short-length rigidity is preferred over longer jobber bits. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes, clearance holes, and through-holes in ferrous and non-ferrous stock on drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills. The general-purpose HSS construction handles a broad range of everyday materials without requiring exotic tooling. The 2-flute regular spiral flute design evacuates chips efficiently in standard drilling operations. This is a single-piece quantity item with a minimum order of 12 units.

Key Features

• Wire gauge No. 7 size — 0.2010 inch decimal equivalent diameter
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction with oxide coating for corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and easier starting
• Screw machine length (2.25 inches OAL, 1.1875-inch flute length) for maximum rigidity in confined spaces
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral, 2-flute design for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight cylindrical shank across drill presses, lathes, and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with rotating cutting tools. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is properly tightened before operating. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed settings.
